The Goal

Flying down the ice,
With a head full of steam,
Not going to be stopped,
UNTOUCHABLE.
I pass it over,
He passes it back,
The defender is now nowhere to be seen.
I pick my corner,
one flick of the wrists,
DING,
Bells ring,
The red light spins,
BAR DOWN,
Hands in the air,
Puck in the net,
Goalie in shock.
1-0.
